The 2nd of June is a Thursday in a certain year. Which day of the week is the 3rd of July in that year?
Show Hint
- Thursday
- Friday
- Saturday
- Sunday
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Starting from June 2nd, June has 30 days, so the number of days remaining in June after June 2nd is 30 - 2 = 28 days, which brings us to June 30th.
Step 2: Add the days needed in July.
From June 30th to July 3rd is 3 more days (July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd). So the total gap from June 2nd to July 3rd is 28 + 3 = 31 days.
Step 3: Convert the day gap into complete weeks and a remainder.
Dividing 31 by 7 gives 4 complete weeks (28 days) with a remainder of 3 days. Since complete weeks bring the day of the week back to the same day, only the remainder of 3 days actually shifts the day of the week forward.
Step 4: Shift forward from Thursday by 3 days.
Starting at Thursday: 1 day forward is Friday, 2 days forward is Saturday, 3 days forward is Sunday.
Conclusion: July 3rd falls on a Sunday, which is option 4.
